The failure of negotiating the Government bonds lor live millions, is properly ascribed to the difficulties in our money market. It is urged on the uon- grcss to remodel the land laws.

Some dis satisfaction is expressed towards the conduct ot the U. btntes' agent in lurnishing the Cad do Indians with rillcs & ammunition!

Great stress is put upon the prohi biting ol the slave-trade, and appeals arc made to England and the U. States to pre vent the landing of Africans in the coun try. It is hoped that the subject of annexa tion to the U. States will receive the early attention of our Congress. The General speaks in high terms of the wealth of the republic yet m cmbrio, and alludes to Us immense lorcsts of live oak with no little satisfaction. A blinking is had towards En gland, should the U. States look on them coldly. 1 he President recommends a lib eral policy towards citizens of the U. Slates holding lands within her limits.
